There is at least one area of wikipedia work that I do which I think HTML 
comments will come in very handy; HTML tables.  HTML tables can get quite 
complicated and messy, and being able to leave notes for future editors to 
help them add to the table is something I just don't see the talk: page as 
being very good for. Very complicated lines of TeX might also benefit from 
an HMTL comment or two, though I imagine math equations aren't as likely to 
be modified by future contributors.

In a closely related vein, there are a lot of articles which use 
standardized "templates"; for example the planetary data sheets or the 
tatobox for biological species. Filling the template with HTML comments 
describing what sorts of stuff goes where, and what the preferred formats 
are, will help to keep these things consistent when new people use the 
templates.
